From scholarships and university-level study to inspiring alumni, Albany Senior High School ākonga are leading the way in future-focused learning, real-world achievement, and academic excellence.
Over $4 million in scholarships: Innovation in action
Since 2011, ASHS students have been awarded more than $4.24 million in tertiary scholarships – a powerful reflection of both the calibre of our ākonga and the strength of the systems that support them.
At the heart of this success is our Impact Projects programme, which gives students weekly opportunities to explore real-world learning and develop future-ready skills. This learning is amplified by the dedication of our kaiako and mentors, who inspire and guide ākonga every step of the way.
University-level learning while still at school
A huge congratulations to ASHS ākonga Kirsten, Paige, Theo and Jayden, who are excelling in Math199, a University of Canterbury STAR course in calculus and linear algebra. Designed for top-performing secondary students, the course is equivalent to first-year university maths.
All four are currently achieving A-grade results – an incredible feat while still at high school. Their success is supported by Sally van Praag, specialist subject lead for maths and statistics, whose mentorship helps our ākonga thrive well beyond the standard curriculum.
Sarina’s Story: ASHS alumna putting ambition into action
